I CAN READ YOUR MIND//University Series #4

8

"I fucked with his brother, I don't want to marry Des," I confessed out of nowhere because I'm literally falling for Skyry already.

We've been a couple since I, Paulo, and him were in the same place.

"Pak!" My face were red due to my father's slap.

"You fucked the brother of your future husband? What kind of a bitch are you Christiana?" My dad raised his voice but I really don't care.

"You really don't know how and what I feel dad. I always say yes sa kahit ano mang inuutos niyo. Pero wala naman kayong paki sa akin. And even my future ikaw ang may plano? I want to get married to someone who I love," I cried and cried until my voice is getting heavier.

Umalis ako and upon checking Des' face, he was frustrated and disappointed to hear that I'm inlove with his brother Skyry.

I called Skyry multiple times at nagulat ako bakit ang tagal niyang sumagot.

"Darling, please huhuhu, I'm so wahhhh," I cried habang nakikiusap kay Skyry.

"Where are you, gonna get you there," I heard him sighing deeply at pansin kong alam na ata niya.

Well, he can read my mind. And he knows kung ano ang relasyon namin ng family ko. Even though, there's always a celebration sa bahay but still wala akong freedom.

"Nasa bahay ako. I can't get out," I sobbed.

Seems like binabaan niya ako ng phone kaya mas namamaga pa ang mga mata ko.

Hindi ako makatulog kakaisip kaya tinawagan ko mga kaibigan ko. Lalo na si Nereca. Siya lang naman may alam ng mga ganitong pangyayari.

"Why?" Nereca answered her phone.

"I love Skyry but I'm going to marry his brother," I cried.

"You're being problematic with your boyfriend, well, problema ko rin si Zacharry pansin ko kasing nagmemeet sila ni Ailean. But, your problem girl is worst. If I were you, I'm gonna follow Stella's way but parang ayaw mo naman mabuhay sa kahirapan, edi magpabuntis ka nalanv kaya kay Skyry total gusto niyo naman happiness everywhere," advice niya sa akin na para bang mas dinagdagan niya lang.

"Tskkk, kainis ka naman. Matulog ka na nga," I heard him laughed kaya napachuckle narin ako.

"How dare you coming here!" Narinig ko ang boses ni dad kaya sumilip ako. Agad kong nakita ang mukha ni Skyry na humarap kay mom and dad.

"What the hell? Anong ginawa ng baliw dito?" Mas lalo akong kinabahan dahil sa mga nangyayari.

"Good evening sir! I'm not here to offend, to annoy or to do something. I'm just worried about your daughter. As you may know, I'm a psychiatrist. Though, I'm still in studying my field, I've been assisting a lot of psychologist before. I'm actually studying Yegi's behaviour since then and if di ko maagapan ang mga napapansin ko sa kanya, may posibilidad na mabaliw siya," seryoso niyang sabi kay dad habang ako makakapatay na ako dahil sa inis.

Agad kong kinuha ang tsinelas ko at agad kong itinapon sa kanya but it's too unfortunate that it landed on my father's head. Napalingon si dad sa akin kaya napataas ang kanyang dalawang kilay habang nagkasalubong ang nga ito.

"You need to take good care of that girl, seems like you're talking right," my dad left us habang tumatawa siyang lumapit sa akin.

"Miss you, Love you my crazy girl," he chuckled and hugged me.

Feel ko tuloy nainlove narin siya sa akin.

Tiningnan niya ako sa mata and bigla nalang siyang ngumiti.

"I CAN READ YOUR MIND!" Diretso niyang sabi at agad akong hinalikan.

There he goes again being on himself and were visiting our own land again.

"Uhm, I have a request," I uttered while I'm nervous.

"Hmm?" He asked.

"Can you uhm can you just focused on me? I mean it hurts me a lot if you're with somebody, I don't know why but one thing is for sure I love you Skyry," I faced him and look in his eyes.

"I love you Yegi, I really do. And when you make me jealous, it makes me want you or love you more," he kissed my forehead and that makes comforted me.

After that night, we talked about what's with ours sa father ko and I don't know what happened but it ended up na ang ipapakasal ay si Skyry at ako.

I know we're not ready for this but when I share the news to my friends they actually liked it. I mean, some of them don't support us but iyong iba naman ay nagpupush sa akin. Allegory didn't allow me and dahil doon may misunderstanding sila ni Skyry but I want it actually. I know I'm not ready for such sacred thing but mahal ko si Skyry and even though a lot of people ang magsasabing wala akong future kay Skyry. I will choose him no matter what.

"Why are you so silent?" I broke the silence habang siya ay nagdrive ng car.

He picked me up sa school kaya mas lalo akong nainspired. Sino ba kasing hindi mainlab sa isang nakauniporme na lalaki at ang puti-puti pa ng damit.

"I don't want to get married yet," Skyry uttered that made me the loneliest person on earth.

"Why? But I want it. I mean, I prefer you than Des," I chuckled in a fake manner.

"I don't know, seems like both of us were not ready? Are you ready?" He looked at me.

Napatahimik ako at napaisip but when I saw him smiling alam kong siya na. He continued to drive hanggang nakarating kami sa kanila.

Sinalubong agad kami ng mom ni Skyry at sinalubong agad siya ng sampal.

"Pinagpalit mo ang kompanya mo sa babae? Nahibibang kaba Kystro? That girl won't make you live? Your dad told me na wala na akong hahabulin sa kanya cause you bartered it with this girl?" Her mom screams at me.

"Mom, enough! You misinterpret it," Skyry shouted back.

"Misinterpret? How come–," Skyry sigh and gave her papers.

Dinala niya ako sa bahay niya at pinaglutuan niya pa ako.

"Ginagawa mo?" I asked out of nowhere.

"You're the first girl I brought here sa bahay so I wanted to cook for you," sabi niya habang nagprepare ng mga ingredients.
